• Abstract: Event Extraction bridges the gap between text and event signals. Based on the assumption of trigger-argument dependency, existing approaches have achieved state-of-the-art performance with expert-designed templates or complicated decoding constraints. In this paper, for the first time we introduce the prompt-based learning strategy to the domain of Event Extraction, which empowers the automatic exploitation of label semantics on both input and output sides. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed generative method, we conduct extensive experiments with 11 diverse baselines. Empirical results show that, in terms of F1 score on Argument Extraction, our simple architecture is stronger than any other generative counterpart and even competitive with algorithms that require template engineering. Regarding the measure of recall, it sets new overall records for both Argument and Trigger Extractions. We hereby recommend this framework to the community, with the code publicly available at https://git.io/GDAP.

  Event Argument Extraction (EAE) requires the model to extract arguments of multiple events from a single document. We propose a simple-to-complex progressive framework for document-level EAE. Our model outperforms SOTA by 1.4% in F1, indicating the proposed simple-to-complex framework is useful in the EAE task.

  We propose a retrieval-augmented generative QA model (R-GQA) for event argument extraction. It retrieves the most similar QA pair and augments it as prompt to the current example's context, then decodes the arguments as answers. Our approach outperforms substantially prior methods across various settings.
